Uwe Boll, director of films such as Blood Rayne & Postal will stop making films if the goal of 1 million signatures are reached.

Are you aware that there is a petition online, signed by 18,000 people, requesting that you stop making movies?

Yeah, I know that. 18,000 is not enough to convince me.

How many would it take?

One million. Now we have a new goal.

Hear that, haters? A challenge!

Only 1 million? Seems easy enough.

well, he keeps making movies despite not many people watching them. Maybe he thinks the world population is somewhere around 2mil. thus, him thinking he's got a good percentage of people watching his movies?

[archibaldcrane]

He was just capitalizing on German tax-shelter rules which allowed him to make films as a german national with ridiculous tax breaks. The situation in which he thrives has been eliminated, so he'll have to live or die on that pesky thing called talent. Don't worry about Uwe Boll, he's done for.

Signed this so very quick, and I can't help but feel I represent every future film maker when doing so.

Why is it such a huge deal that Uwe Boll makes terrible movies, yet the dozens of other directors that have no business being in the industry isn't nearly such a problem?

So he's ruining your precious video game franchises? I've got news for you, those franchises weren't all that great to begin with.

Listen to one of his commentaries. Aside from his terrible movies, Uwe Boll is awesome.

Oh no you didn't!

it's not so much he's a shitty director, but that he's a shitty director with a horrible ego who thinks anyone who doesn't like his movies are a moron. The guy has the ego of Jack Thompson, and about the same amount of intelligence to boot.

Uwe Boll is the greatest troll in movie directing history. His entire claim to fame is deliberately making the biggest bombs possible for the benefit of his financial backers, and the more hate he generates, the more likely his films are to bomb spectacularly.

Usually by shitting over a mediocre game license that might have actually generated a decent movie. He's not only bad, he tries to be worse which each new mega-flopster.

This petition is basically just stupid. Without the tax shelters, he can't get the budgets together to make these movies anymore. He's subject to normal market forces, and no one will get 40 mil together for another bomb. He's obsolete.

Isn't his financial backer the german government?

They should alter that movie grant program such that the movie makers have to pay back the money. It might entice them to aim to make a profit.

Oh yeah, House of the Dead 2 was way better, although 4 is probably the best.


...Oh, you meant the movie? I dunno, I haven't seen it. I don't think anyone has.

Oh, I have. One of my friends found it and bought it so we could all laugh at it. It is the worst zombie movie in the history of anything, although I haven't seen the first one to compare.

Questionnaire:

When you are a heavily armed member of a special forces presumably trained to fight zombies, and you first encounter one, do you:
A- Shoot it in the head with your assault rifle from a safe distance.
or
B- Throw down your assault rifle, run up to it, and start grappling?

The movie is an unintentional comedy goldmine. The night's affairs went thusly:

Stage 1: I openly mock all the stupid things in the movie. (which is to say... the movie)
Stage 2: I try to step-by-step explain each character's thought processes as they are presented in the movie whilst my friend laughs hysterically.
Stage 3: Desperation. Events are met with me screaming "WHAT?!?!?" and my friend laughing hysterically. Things no longer make any sense.
